Cote Sud

I was home sick today and was looking through a few of my old magazines. Here are some images from a previous April-May, Maisons Cote Sud.

La Brasserie du Square

Comptoir de Famille's Brasserie du Square dinnerware is a great basic set of dishes. Simple but very french we keep it continually stocked at the store. Coupled with Comptoir's elegant silverware and coordinating placemats and napkins you have a complete bistro place setting!

If I were to give a french themed dinner party I would incorporate vintage french postcards. Little notes or memories about each guest could be penned on the back making a personal keepsake .

Centerpieces don't always need to be floral. It can be a good way to
showcase additional pieces of your dishware.

Spring Garden Project

Now that the weather is getting milder and we have had a few days of sun I can't help but start thinking about my garden. I came across this information on how to assemble a versaille or "french" planter box. I keep meaning to pass this along to my Dad(the poor recipient and enabler of most of my ideas!)

This planter brought to mind Marie Antoinette and her "hamlet" at Versailles.
